She looks so resolute and determined!! (And yet the first thing I thought of was "why are you letting a child walk down the middle of the road?? I'm guessing it's either closed or infrequently used.) I like your choice of toning/processing, too. But mostly I like her posture and clenched fist. So determined.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. The coloration: I love that cross-processed look, offering a slightly vintage feel.

2. Fantastic clarity of your subject - you've nailed the focus and used a narrow depth of field to isolate your subject; you've anchored the eye wonderfully but we are all too aware of the context.

3. A great sense of story - why is she off on her own like that? What is she leaving behind? Is there a car hiding over the hill?

4. Your POV - your low angle does great things to the perspective of the image and adds a considered cinematic appeal.
